Reading prepared remarks at her Senate confirmation hearing as the president’s nominee to run USAGM, Sarah Rogers praises (VOA) correspondents in the field “who work daily in the line of fire” to tell the world what’s going on. Too bad she doesn’t realize Kari Lake got rid of them.

Mark Kelly: "We have an incompetent Secretary of Defense who in no way was qualified for this position. This is the guy who runs around on the stage talking about killing people and lethality and testosterone. The military doesn't need more testosterone. It needs better leadership."

#Cornyn responded with a post of his own, in which he said #Trump “is mistaken if he believes concerns about the provisions in his tax lawsuit settlement are limited to me & Senator #Tillis.”

A refusal by the #Senate to confirm #ToddBlanche would be a notable political setback for Trump, marking a rare instance when the #GOP-led chamber blocked something he wanted. But even if Cornyn & Tillis’s concerns remain unaddressed, Blanche could remain “acting” AG for the foreseeable future.

Crap. Now #Trump is saying he’ll just wait until #JohnCornyn & #ThomTillis leave the #Senate, & then he’ll re-nominate #ToddBlanche.

Trump suggested Thursday that he could withdraw Blanche’s nomination to become attorney general until next year, as a standoff continues with the 2 Republican senators who are demanding concessions from the admin before supporting Blanche.

We’re proud to represent our members in joining this effort.

Chairman Carr’s weaponization of the FCC is an attack on the First Amendment.

It is critical that individuals and orgs - like Disney - standing up to fascism have your/our support.

Courage is contagious.

“He actually said the words ‘Get to the point’ to us,” Epstein survivor Dani Bensky said about her meeting w/Blanche. “We’re survivors who have been waiting to meet w/him for nine months, eight months.”

RT: @mark_dow Pro-Trump states and counties had far higher COVID death rates.

Misinformation and disinformation were to blame.

Trump and Musk were the biggest propagators of misinformation in terms of reach.

A bill that sanctions Canadian officials for a natural phenomenon substantially driven by global greenhouse gas emissions, without acknowledging the United States' own contribution to that warming, creates a legal and diplomatic contradiction that experts say could weaken, not strengthen, America's standing to demand action from its allies

RT: @Alonso_GD The Piers-Morgan-type reaction is why I say they are Mein Kampf Nazis, not Auschwitz Nazis. We’re in their 1926 stage. The goal is to stop them and remove them from power before they get to their1935 or 1939 or 1945 stages
